Methodology

Sample:
Based on the 2000 Census tract distribution, 350 locales
were randomly selected. Then, 20 individuals aged 20-49 were randomly
selected within each locale, based on the registration of current
domicile (jumin kihon daicho). Because one of the major objectives of
the survey was to collect information on early life course,
individuals aged 20-39 were selected at twice the rate of those aged
40-49.

Mode of Data Collection:
survey questionnaire

Response Rates:
A total of 4,482 usable questionnaires were
returned, a response rate of 64 percent. The response rate was
particularly low for those aged 20-24 (55 percent). For the remainder,
the response rate was 71 percent.
